Complete the Programming of an Object-Oriented Console Application

1

Complete the Programming of an Object-Oriented Console Application In this assessment, you will complete the programming of two Java class methods in a console application that registers students for courses in a term of study. The application is written using the Object-Oriented features of the Java programming language. The application does compile and does run, but it does not produce the expected result as stated in its requirements. You can use either the Toolwire environment or your local Java development environment to complete this assignment.

You have been hired to complete the source code of these two methods such that the application meets its stated requirements. Specifically, your added code should:

• In one method, prints out a list of courses available for registration and prompt the user to select a course for which to register

• In the second method, prints out a current list of registered courses and their total credit hours

The requirements of this application are as follows: The application is register students for courses in a term of study.

The assumptions used by the application are:

• Student enter only integers to select courses for registration from a menu. No data type validation of the user menu selection is checked or required

• The program terminates only when the student closes it

The program must follow these registration business rules:

• No registration of other courses not displayed by the program

• No registration more than once for the same course

• No registration for more than 9 credit hours (e.g. no more than 3 courses)

The application uses Java Object-Oriented features for its implementation. Students select from a menu of courses for which they wish to register. The program then validates the user selection against the registration business rules. If the selection is valid, the program prints out a confirmation message. Otherwise, the program prints out the current list of registered classes along with total registered credit hours. The program terminates when the user does not want to register for classes any more.

There are two Java classes of this application:

1. Course.java. This Java class is complete and does not need any modification

2. U10A1_OOConsoleRegisterForCourse.java. This is the class with the two methods that need to be completed

The two methods that need to be completed of the U10A1_OOConsoleRegisterForCourse.java are:

1. getChoice() method. This method loops over an array of course objects and prints out their attributes, one per line according to this format:

2

[selection number]Course Code (Course Credit Hours)

2. WriteCurrentRegistration() method. This method also loops over the array of course objects and prints out a list of registered courses thus far. The list current registered courses are enclosed inside a { } and separated by a ,. The methods also prints out the total credit hours thus far

Use these course codes, in this order, to test your application:

• T2230

• IT2249 IT2230 IT3345

Successful completion of this assignment will display a menu of courses from which to select to register in the format of

[selection number]Course Code (Course Credit Hours) In addition, the application should display and update current list of registered courses and their total credit hours. Your program interaction should look like the sample interaction video, “OO Console Register for Course”

Follow these steps to complete this assignment:

1. Unzip the NetBeans project zip file available in the resources (U10A1_OOConsoleRegisterForCourse.zip) and load it into your NetBeans IDE.

2. Complete the application programming (the getChoice() and the WriteCurrentRegistration() method) to meet the stated requirements.

3. Compile and test your application using the provided input data. Make sure to document the result of your testing by taking screenshots of the result of running your application similar to the provided sample output. Four screenshots are required for this assignment (one for each course code of the provided input data).

4. Explain the approach you took to complete this assignment and the major decisions you made. As part of your explanation, be sure to identify the fundamental Java constructs you used that were specific and relevant to your submitted program.

Deliverables Use the submission template available in the resources(WeekXSolutionSubmissionTemplate.docx) to complete and submit your deliverables. Your deliverables in the submission template should include:

1. Your work (Netbeans project zip file + copy of *.java source code)

2. Screenshots of the result of testing your application. See the examples in the interaction video.

3. Explain the approach you took to complete this assignment and the major decisions you made. As part of your explanation, be sure to identify the fundamental Java constructs you used that were specific and relevant to your submitted program.
